About Lauren
Lauren Burns is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, stress and codependency. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addictions and major life changes.
Lauren uses a person-centred, integrative style. Sessions focus on listening and understanding how patterns started. She helps clients notice how they put other people first and what gets in the way of clearer boundaries. Work often includes practical coping tools and talking through recurring relationship dynamics.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with psychodynamic and existential thinking. That mix is used to look at past relationships and present choices. Clients are invited to reflect on the ways early relationships shape current reactions and attachments.
Lauren aims to move at the client’s pace. Therapy is collaborative - goals and techniques are agreed together. Sessions can include short term problem-solving or deeper reflective work depending on what someone needs.
She has experience in private practice and as a volunteer counsellor in the NHS. Lauren offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are charged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred methods when working online. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what the client brings, which suits talking through relationship struggles and codependency patterns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, low mood and coping strategies. Together these approaches allow both reflection on past patterns and concrete steps to change day-to-day habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include short-term focused work or longer reflective sessions depending on what fits.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often offer this flexibility to help sessions fit into everyday life rather than replace face-to-face contact.
